‘What’s he thinking?’ | 01:04
AUGUST 15 – TIGERS CHAMP BOWS OUT TO CONTINUE CHANGING OF THE GUARD
The changing of the guard at Richmond has continued, with champion forward Jack Riewoldt announcing his retirement.
It’s understood Riewoldt, who’s one of five Tigers in club history to have played 300 games, informed teammates of his decision on Tuesday morning.
Riewoldt in recent weeks had been weighing up playing on next year. But he now joins fellow club great Trent Cotchin in calling time on his career, with the former skipper making his announcement last week.
It’s expected Riewoldt will address the media later on Tuesday.
A three-time premiership player, three-time All-Australian, three-time Coleman medallist, two-time best and fairest win and 11-time club leading goalkicker — including leading it again this season — Riewoldt departs the game with one of the most decorated resumes of the modern era. He’s kicked 786 goals from 346 AFL games across 17 seasons.
Riewoldt has strongly advocated the Tasmanian side after being raised in the Hobart suburb of Bellerive and making his senior debut for Clarence before being selected at pick 13 by the Tigers in the 2006 national draft.
MORE TO COME
AUGUST 14 – NIC NAT CALLS TIME
Nic Naitanui has become the latest Eagles veteran to call time on his career.
The star ruckman publicly announced the decision on Monday following 213 senior games and 112 goals following his selection with pick No. 2 in the 2008 draft.
“I feel like I have exhausted every avenue to work my way through my injury, but my body is sending a strong message that it is time,” Naitanui said.
“You never want this day to come, but it always does and I’m content in the knowledge that I have given it everything.
“Being a power athlete who has relied on my ability to jump throughout my career this injury was probably going to take that away from me.
“I am also looking at a lengthy rehabilitation from my latest surgery and there are no guarantees of making it back to AFL level even if everything goes to plan. I have given it a lot of thought in the last few weeks and this is the best decision for the club, myself and my family.
“I would also like to thank the club for the opportunity, the enormous amount of support I have received along the journey and the lifelong friendships that have been created.”
AUGUST 14 – PADDY MCCARTIN RETIRES AMID CONCUSSION BATTLES
Former number one draft pick Paddy McCartin has announced his retirement from the AFL.
McCartin has not played since April, when he suffered his latest concussion in a career that has been marred by head knocks.
He played 35 games for St Kilda over four seasons, suffering eight concussions during that stretch.
Following an indefinite break from the game in 2019, the Swans added McCartin to its senior side in the 2022 season.
He played 24 senior games as a defender, with he and brother Tom’s journey to the Grand Final a fairytale amid the side’s run.
The 27-year-old finishes his AFL career having played 63 games.
AUGUST 10 – TRIPLE-PREMIERSHIP TIGERS SKIPPER RETIRES
Triple-premiership Tigers skipper Trent Cotchin has announced he’ll retire at the end of the season.
The 33-year old calls time on his glittering career after 305 games to date across 16 seasons, also winning a Brownlow Medal and three best and fairests while holding a club record 188 matches as Richmond captain.
The veteran midfielder said he cherished his time at Punt Road after being taken with the No. 2 pick in the 2007 draft.
“I am going to miss with all my heart the relationships, memories and experiences I have had these past 305 games,” he said.
“I accept reality and that my chapter has come to an end. My body is somewhat slowing down and is older than it once was.”
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale also paid tribute to Cotchin.
“Obviously Trent has achieved so much as a player, however, it is the power and impact of his leadership that has impressed me the most,” Gale said.
“After being appointed captain in 2012 at 22 years, Trent in his own way and through his own experience redefined leadership at our club. His renewed focus on self-understanding, self-acceptance, care, and connection was instrumental in unlocking the full potential of our players and team.”
AUGUST 10 – FOUR-TIME FLAG HERO CALLS IT A DAY
This season will be Cats veteran Isaac Smith’s last, with the four-time premiership player to hang up the boots at the end of the year.
The 2022 Norm Smith medallist has booted 204 goals from 277 games for Geelong and Hawthorn across 13 campaigns during successful eras at both clubs since joining the Hawks with Pick 19 in the 2010 National Draft.
The 34-year old told teammates of his decision on Wednesday morning.
“I am so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to play AFL football, it is every kids dream growing up and to have that play out for me across the last 13 seasons at two great clubs is something really special,” Smith said.
“From the time I walked into Hawthorn, and now being at Geelong, I have always felt right at home at both organisations and to this day have made some very special friendships and bonds with a lot of people.
“I would like to thank everyone along the journey, in particular my wife Candice and children Isla and Emmett. I will forever be indebted to you for the support you have shown me.”
After 210 games for Hawthorn from 2011 to 2020 including playing in its three-peat of premierships under Alastair Clarkson, Smith moved to Geelong as a free agent.
He’s played a key role for Chris Scott’s side — making 67 of a possible 70 senior appearances including claiming best-on-ground honours in last year’s decider.
With it, Smith became the oldest player to win the Norm Smith Medal in the Cats’ 81-point mauling of Sydney.
“Ever since walking into the Cattery, Isaac has been an important member of the club both on and off the field, highlighted by his strong mindset, competitive nature and balanced perspective on life and the game,” Lloyd said.
“Over his three seasons at the Cats, we have been blessed to have Isaac wear the Geelong hoops, he is a unique individual and his ability to bring energy around the club is something that is going to be missed,” Cats footy boss Simon Lloyd said.
“On behalf of the club we would like to thank Isaac, his wife Candice and his kids Isla and Emmett for their contribution and dedication to the Cats.”
